28th Hangover - Actions Have Consequences [Phone | Action]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[So, the fight against the Postman ended as these fights always do.

Still, long after it was over. Long after the pain has faded from memory. The Captain was still no where to be found! About a week later The Captain finally reappears. First with a phone call.]


[Phone | Unfiltered to Everyone]

Hey, this is Captain ☠☠☠☠.

The Postman is a lot tougher than he seems and he's a ☠☠☠☠.

Also, ☠☠☠☠ it. Unless your name is Elsa Bloodstone, I work alone. Don't bother calling me, I'm not going to be here.

[Click! Hangs up and leaves.]


[Action | Around Town]

[The Captain heads to his favorite place to escape, the bar. Though he stands outside it for a long moment before changing his mind and walking away.

He'll wander aimlessly around town. His eventual destination is Makeout Point since it's a nice view. Sitting up there and watching the town as he tries to think.]

((Name where you run into him if you tag. He can be wandering past anywhere.))

You remember who you're talking to right?

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Why don't you tell me about your last plan? Maybe I can help you come up with something better.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Charlie distracted the Postman with smoke.

I threw a car at him.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

That was incredibly reckless of you!

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I should have just had Charlie wait at home. Even if she can teleport it was a bit much.

I'm pretty sure I could have still hit him without her help.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

A frontal assault like that was bound to fail to begin with.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I hit the ☠☠☠☠, that's got to count for something.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Not from a practical standpoint, no. We need something that'll matter for the long term. We have to find out what their weak points are. Spying is a much better idea.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Then you guys can spy, I'll keep trying to hit them until something sticks.

[Or until they put him down and he doesn't get back up.]

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Do you hold any concern for your own safety?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Why should I?

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Because you're important to other people.

*Hi I am a hypocrite.*

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

They better get used to this. I'm gone if we win this one.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Won't you at least think of a more... elaborate plan?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Next time I'll drop a ☠☠☠☠ house on him or something.

Though right now, I'm not attacking anyone. I got enough to worry about.

[He says this, but he can only go so many weeks without doing something dumb.]

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Ah, no, I mean... perhaps attacking them before they can harm you somehow?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

That's why I threw the car. He didn't see it coming until it was smearing him across the ground.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Can't you kill a bit more discreetly than that?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I'm a super hero with super strength, how do you think I used to fight?

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Couldn't you crush someone with your bare hands just as easily? That would be much less noticeable.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I tried that. They don't really let you get that close.

[He's killed people by accident with his bare hands.]

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

*The line is silent for a few seconds.*

... I can hold them down.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

...

[Yeah, that went dark pretty fast.]

No. First, they won't let you get that close either. Second, no.

Also, I already mangled the Postman. He got right back up from it. Kinda defeats the purpose of sparing you guys if I drag another kid along for this.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine. I have a method of restriction they won't be expecting. I am prepared to die so you don't have to worry about that either.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

No.

What was it like just before you came here?
